Headlamp jog. Very clear sky, so lots of stars to see. It would have been a good day to spot the ISS, but the ISS was not flying over Lawrence this morning. Very quiet out. Also a bit chilly with the temp in the mid 30s.

C • ISS 4

Warm. Temp reached 81 today. Yuck.

I biked on the pavement. Fun, but some nutty drivers out.

Pavement, levee, river trail and a tiny bit of gravel.

I stopped at Mud Creek to check the water level in the Kaw. It is quite low.

While I was there a couple of riders arrived to gaze at the river. We chatted a bit. One guy had just moved to Lawrence from Boulder. He had a lot to say about how wonderful Lawrence was compared to Boulder. That was kind of fun to hear. I reminded him of what Boog told me - everyone loves Lawrence just the way it is when they arrive...and they complain about everything that changes after they arrive ("too big" or changes in downtown or local restaurants).

My legs feel a bit beat up from yesterday. Not so much tired as beat up.

PTOC event at Ernie Miller Park. Mike Shifman set the courses.

The park used to be very overgrown by bush honeysuckle. But the County cleared that out a year or so ago. The woods are nice. But you stumble around a bit on short honeysuckle stumps and cuttings. A lack of running in the woods didn't help my ability to move well.

Legs never felt great, but not terrible either.

Dean beat me by a bit under a minute.

Fun.

I picked up some controls.

Short, easy headlamp jog. Too cloudy to see the ISS pass over.

1

To/from the Kansas Economic Policy Conference + a bit of extra rolling around for fun.

Sleeping late was a good idea.

1

Nice dinner at Culinaria.

Headlamp jog. I was sleeping soundly when the alarm went off. I might sleep a bit later tomorrow.

Very quiet out this morning.
